WASHINGTON (CPS)�En-rollment in the nation's colleges and universities has nearly doubled in the last 15 years and may nearly double again by 1975. A record-breaking 4.8 million students will be in college this fall, according to U. S. Office of Education estimates. In 1949, 2.45 million students were en-rolled. This fall's enrollment repre-sents and increase of some 300,000 students over last year's total and is about 600,000 stu-dents larger than 1962's. Eesi-mates. run above 8.5 million. _Almost haf of the record-break-ing 2.3 million students who were graduated from high school last spring will be entering colleges and universities this fall. There will be aproximately 1.25 million ""first time"" students this fall, but some of these will he high school graduates of earlier years who delayed enrollment for mil-itary service or other reasons. Unless teacher loads are sub-stantially increased, the huge enrollments will necessitate hir-ing an additional 18,000 college teachers this year, the Office of Education estimates. This would mean a 5.1 per cent jump over last year's college teaching staff of 352,000. There has been a tremendous growth in public as compared to private enrollment. Private and public institutions each had about the same number of stu-dents in 1951�private schools had 1,064,450 and public schools had 1,051,990. This year, private enrollment will be about 1.7 mil-lion and public enrollment will be a whopping 3.1 million. Because public enrollments are growing so much more rapidly than private enroll-ments, the nation's private col-leges and universities, which ac-counted for 80 per cent of all students in 1900, are expected to be left with only 30 to 40 per cent by 1970. They current-ly have somewhat less than 40 per cent. These dramatic enrollment in-creases are the result of the post-war ""baby boom."" an esti-mated 3.72 million post-war babies will have their 18th birth-days between July 1964, and July, 1965. This is about one million more than for the com- Psrable 1963-6.1 period. .0 104, � Dean Hill ... In ""A mouse learning to be a rat,"" was the manner in which Dr. Gilbert M. Hill decribes his former position as an acting dean at Temple University. Con-tinuing in this facetious manner, Dr. Hill said, ""Now I'm a full fledged rat."" The remarks were humorous highlights among the otherwise serious address given by Dr. Hill as the main speaker at Towson's annual fall Convo-cation last Wednesday. Dr. Harold E. Moser, Interim New Faculty: Twenty- Eight Join Ranks New faces dominate the Tow-son scene this year.

Dr. Moser will return to his duties in the psychology department. Dr. Hill, the new Dean of In-struction, is a Philadelphian. His last post was that of history instructor and acting Dean of Liberal Arts at Temple Univer-sity, from which institution he received his A.B. Dean Hill re-ceived his M.A. from the Univer DR. HAROLD E. MOSER sit)' of Pennsylvania, and his Ph.D. from Indiana State Uni-versity. I'm very happy at Towson,"" declared the new administrator. ""I love the place. As yet I've had small contact with the students, but I have found them pleasant and alert."" Dr. Hill's duties will involve student activities, curriculum, and faculty matters. He men-tioned that a dean often re-ceives a distorted view of stu-dent life because he usually comes in contact with students only when there is a problem. Four Dates For Senior Tests College seniors preparing to teach school may take the Na-tional Teacher Examinations on four different test dates each year instead of one, Education-al Testing Service has an-nounced. New dates set for the testing of prospective teachers are. December 12, 1963; and March 20, July 17. and Octobor 2, 1965. The tests %ill be given at more than 554 locations in the 50 states. ETS said. Scores on the National Teach-er Examinations are used by many large school districts for employment of new teachers and by several States for cer-tification or licensing of teach-ers. Some colleges require all seniors preparing to teach to take the examinations. "
